Chapter Ninety-Five: Class Reunion
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Xuan's father came to our apartment early, and the family began to paste couplets, decorate the room, and prepare for a small party on Chinese New Year's Eve.
I have to say that Mu Xuan's father sings really well, and it seems that Mu Xuan's singing is also genetic. The family was eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala, and when the New Year's Eve bell rang, Mu Xuan and I called my parents to pay New Year's greetings, and then went to sleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we got on the train early and went to Mu Xuan's hometown. When we arrived at Mu Xuan's mother's house, the hot dumplings that had just come out of the pot had been prepared for us on the table, and after greeting the two old people, we also received a red envelope from Mu Xuan's mother.
This time, I went home very nervously, accompanied Mu Xuan's mother to go shopping in the afternoon, and talked to Mu Xuan's mother and uncle about work and family life in the evening, and my upper and lower eyelids did not obey the call. I didn't get a good sense of relaxation in the past two days, and I was tired at the thought of having to take the train back to Kyoto tomorrow, but I still had insomnia after lying in bed.
After a long journey, we finally returned to my house on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and our New Year's task was basically more than half completed. After celebrating my mother's birthday the day after tomorrow, we can go back to our nest to rest, and then wait for the eighth day of the new year to start.
As soon as Mu Xuan and I arrived home, we were surrounded by my parents enthusiastically, and we began to ask questions, basically whether we were eating well, whether we were tired, or how about going to work?
I thought I could have a good rest tomorrow, but who knew that tomorrow would be in time for the class reunion. I really don't know who organized the party, the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Originally, I wanted Mu Xuan to come with me, but he said that I should have fun by myself, and he would accompany my father-in-law and mother-in-law at home. I was also afraid that it would be unnatural for him to come, so I didn't force it.
The meeting place is a hotel in the county, which is a combination of eating, drinking and playing, and the price is reasonable. As soon as I arrived outside the hotel, I saw Liu Jie, who was at the same table in junior high school.
"I didn't expect you to really come, we are still guessing whether you will come or not. ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Jie spoke to me first. I remember that the relationship between the two of us was not very good, and we had to share the same table. When I was in junior high school, I had good grades, but I didn't know how to get along with my classmates.
It wasn't like that with him at the beginning, it was supposed to have been an accident, but we were both young at the time, and we couldn't forgive each other because of our edges and corners.
"I saw the meeting in the class group, and the class leader sent it to each person individually, so I came. I haven't seen my old classmates for a long time, and I happened to come over at home. ”
After that, the two of us didn't say anything, and walked into the hotel together and came to the party box.
Liu Jie was very popular in the class at that time, and he was called away by other classmates as soon as he walked in. I should be the least popular, so I found a more remote position and sat down, planning to wait for the squad leader to come and talk to her before leaving.
While I was waiting, I saw the former representative of the English class come over, "Shanshan, I heard that you went to Kyoto?"
Rivals are coming, and when I was in junior high school, I hated English the most. Some grammar that I still don't understand, and there are endless words to memorize, and each word needs to be copied many times. I was often ridiculed by class representatives for not handing in my homework.
I couldn't help but ask myself countless times if I personally couldn't accept this endless cycle, or if English shouldn't be learned this way at all. When you talk to your family, do you think of the subject-verb-object-definite complement? Do you have to be able to write every sentence you say to someone?
"Hmm. Oh, yes. "When I see this class representative again, no matter what I think in my heart, I still have to respond politely.
I just want to go to the party quietly, and besides, it's all about school, and she must have forgotten about it! Apparently not, and she remembers it vividly.
"I don't know if the problem of not handing in homework has been changed in the new school?"
The irony in these words is too strong, even if I want to cover up the past, it is impossible to cover the past, "That's not young and ignorant, I changed it when I was in high school." ”
The representative of the English class said "oh" and then said, "It seems that it can be changed, so why can't I change it when I was in junior high school? ”
"This ......" What do I say, after all, it's been so long, can I say that I hate English? Of course not, because my English grades have always been at the top of the class, and even the class representative in front of me is not as good as me. Although I can't accept this way of learning, I won't give up.
Just when I was still struggling with how to answer, I saw a savior, and the squad leader finally appeared in my sight. Quickly stood up and said to the class representative, "I'm sorry, I'll ask the class leader about something first." ”
Quickly stood up and bypassed the representative of the English class, and just after bypassing, I heard her say from behind: "Xu Shanshan, you explain it to me clearly." ”
I pretended not to hear it, and strode up to the squad leader, "Squad leader, did you organize today's meeting?"
The squad leader looked at me, but he didn't recognize me at first. I also feel that I have changed a lot, I really don't know how Liu Jie recognized me.
"Are you Xu Shanshan?"
It seems that I really don't know me, so I quickly nodded, "Yes, I'm Xu Shanshan, did you organize this party?"
I repeated it again, and the class leader reacted, looked me up and down, and then said: "Yes and no, it's good for everyone to get together anyway, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time since we graduated, and the head teacher will come over in a while." ”
I didn't expect Teacher Zhang to come over, and the best gift I left in junior high school was our homeroom teacher. Her name is Zhang Fengwei, and her name is a bit like a man, but when I saw her, I knew what temperament was.
I first met Teacher Zhang in the dormitory, she was wearing a floral dress, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her face without powder, which completely conquered me.
She basically didn't get angry with us, and even when we were naughty, she was very patient in teaching us. However, once I saw her crying, it was because we were in trouble.
I remember it was a fight between our class and the rest of the class, and she was called to school on the weekend, with her six-year-old son. Her son is very well-behaved and stays quietly on the sidelines while the head teacher deals with student fights.
Just when the matter was about to be dealt with, he whispered to his mother for a glass of water, and the head teacher didn't care about it at that time and continued to deal with things. When the fighting classmates came out, his son told his mother that he was hungry, and then the head teacher found that the water in her pot was gone.
Then the head teacher hugged his son and cried, and kept apologizing to his son. These are all things I heard outside the door, and some of them are my guesses, but they should be the same.
It seems that the wish to leave early cannot be realized, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Mu Xuan: I can't go back until I am late today, you and your parents will eat first!
Not long after the text message was sent, Mu Xuan replied: Okay, tell me when it's over, I'll pick you up.
After I replied "yes", the phone was put into vibrate mode. The class leader didn't know where he went, looking at the room full of classmates, everyone's faces were filled with pride, and I didn't know what to talk to them, so I went back to where I was sitting by myself, fortunately, the representative of the English class had left, otherwise I didn't know how to answer her.
